Guantanamo Bay to Jackson -- Well, why not?

Really, I mean it: After hearing a thought-provoking idea from a reader, yesterday I sent the following inquiry to Zachery Pohl, press secretary to U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer.

Dear Evil-doers: Wish you were here!

Zack:

Why don't you guys ask for the prisoners taken from Gitmo who still need to be locked up to be brought to Jackson? I am not joking. We have an empty prison (recently renovated) and plenty of trained corrections officers who need work. Any chance this could be proposed by Schauer/Granholm to the administration?

To which Mr. Pohl responded.

Hmm. I'll have to get back to you on that one, Brad.

Something tells me he might think I am nuts. Am I?
